Description
Zinc and Manganese are the most commonly required trace elements by citrus trees and vines. They are necessary in maintaining the general health of the tree or vine, it’s fruit yield and quality. Manutec Zinc & Manganese Citrus and Vine Spray is the easy solution to these deficiencies.
Zinc deficiency is seen as yellow mottling of the new growth leaves. This becomes more severe with each new growth until only the main veins remain green. New leaves will form a tight bunch (a condition called ‘little leaf’), and unless treated, the leaves will drop and dieback of the shoots will result.
Manganese deficiency is seen in Autumn as a very pale green mottling between the dark green veins on normal-size leaves from Spring growth.
A deficiency is corrected by spraying foliage in Spring, when the new leaves are more than half the growth.
This specially formulated blend of Zinc and Manganese soluble powders together in a balanced form is used to overcome deficiencies common in citrus, vines and other fruit plants and in particular under alkaline conditions.
Follow the directions on the bottle and apply accordingly. One application is usually sufficient for a growing season.
Analysis: Zinc 17%w/w, Manganese 15%w/w, Sulphur 18%w/w.
